Soft/hard links in Linux ext3/ext4 not recognized by WSL

[xuancong84]

When I have soft links in my Linux ext3/ext4 filesystem, the linked files are displayed properly and can be accessed in Windows file explorer (i.e., explorer.exe).

In Windows subsystem for Linux (WSL), the Linux partition can also be access correctly. However, all soft-linked files cannot be accessed nor read at all.

As a consequence, I have to reinstall all packages in anaconda again, wasting much disk space.
